HASKINS & TOMO77 AVAILABLE THURS, OCT. 23RD at 10AM PT “ICE Too Cold To Thaw” is a new song by DAVID J & the RESISTANCE through No Devotion Records. It is a direct affront to the horrors and traumas experienced by non-citizens (and those perceived to be immigrants) by ICE, which has been targeting undocumented immigrants across the country. Shepard Fairey and Tomo77 came together to create the front and back artwork for the album as well as an accompanying limited edition signed screenprint of the album art.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

Oh, that’s a good one.

What was JD Vance and other Republicans saying about inflammatory rhetoric?

Indeed he is. Yet he joins the world’s dictators.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.

Literally beat the hell out of them.

This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

You know it’s bad when Trump is posting about Epstein to distract from the jobs report.

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

Covid-19 vaccine license change: 12 key questions answered And an important note about the ousted CDC leaders

The most helpful info I've found on the Covid-19 vaccine at this point, from @kkjetelina.bsky.social, particularly point 12, "What should I do right now?" I'm interested to see what our pediatrician, who is extremely pro-vaccine, has to say about this...

TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.”

He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸

At one point, Sandra Day O'Connor founded an internet company to teach people civics. I just looked it up and it still exists!

I am America. Mayflower descendant on my father's side, and of 20th century Finnish immigrants on my mother's side. And everything in between.

Texas private schools hire relatives and enrich insiders. Soon they can do it with taxpayer money. An investigation by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state law...

Texas is about to give more than $1 billion in public money to private schools. We found that they routinely engage in nepotism and enrich insiders in ways that would be illegal for public and charter schools. Just out @propublica.org @texastribune.org:

Inside Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in D.C. President Donald Trump long had a playbook for deploying the National Guard in D.C. and a week ago had new motivation after a former aide was hurt in an attempted carjacking.

When the National Guard should have been immediately deployed to protect the U.S. Capitol from the Jan. 6 insurrection, Trump was AWOL.

With DC crime at a 30-year low, he is deploying them now in the capital to lay the groundwork to militarize more American cities in the future.

WASH POST shows Republicans saying you can’t trust the CBO… after previously using the CBO to support their arguments 🤷🏼‍♂️

As the Supreme Court Focuses on the Past, Historians Turn to Advocacy

How the hell do you write a piece about historians writing for the courts that quotes three judges and four law profs but ZERO historians?

Yep, Hank Hill returns to a changed world in 'King of the Hill' revival Hank Hill is back and he's the same ol' Hank Hill, but a lot of things around him have changed.

“Hank, have things changed here more than we thought?” Peggy asks, worried, in the first new episode. “Did we make a mistake coming back?”

Rhett Miller's solo LP, A LIFETIME OF RIDING BY NIGHT, is really good. Miller leads the Old 97s. He's in good voice with this one. The lead-off single is "Come As You Are," with the Turnpike Troubadours. I'd paste it here, but I don't know how to do that on Bluesky, probably because I'm old.

I remember when this happened.

Today, I joined @repmarcveasey.bsky.social and @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social to demand answers after disturbing reports of abuse and inhumane treatment at the DFW ICE processing center. We’re not letting this slide.

From Robert Reich,

56,816 people are now being detained by ICE, both in the United States and in El Salvador and other countries where there’s little or no control over the conditions in which they’re being detained.

Over 70 percent have not been convicted of any crime.

The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

NEW: The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE

ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

That last line tho.

Trump's the problem, not the solution: Cuts, hiring freeze on federal workers, withholding resilience funds, undermining FEMA effectiveness, spreading climate denial/repealing efforts.

A Texas arrival doesn't make up for ongoing harm of his policies & the danger it poses for more weather disasters.

While focused on eliminating minority opportunity districts through the replacement of 4 of my Houston/Dallas colleagues, the GOP will swiftly begin gerrymandering to further Trump’s grip, with a likely redraw of the entire state. It is the latest power grab that citizens must rise up and resist.

As Texas Republicans prepare for mid-decade redistricting, cautionary tales loom from the past Spurred by President Donald Trump’s political team, Texas lawmakers will try to redraw the state’s congressional map to boost Republicans — but some GOP incumbents are uneasy.

Desperate to protect his obedient GOP majority’s lock on Congress, and anxious that many GOP will lose, Trump directed Gov. Abbott to find 3-5 new Texas Congressmembers through more crooked gerrymandering.

Unconstitutional.

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

🙂

It’s been concealed. They are just not stating that there are still 172 people missing from the floods here in central Texas. Who’s managing the honest reporting!

These 20 Churches Supported Political Candidates. Experts Say They Violated Federal Law. Churches aren’t supposed to endorse political candidates, according to IRS rules. Across the country, churches appear to be doing so anyway.

In a court filing today, the IRS upended a decades-old ban on churches endorsing political candidates.

At the same time, it's a rule that the IRS has almost never enforced.

In 2022, we spotlighted 20 churches who appeared to violate this rule for local, state and federal elections:
